Everybody Gets What They Need | How to respond when kids say "no fair"
Everybody Gets What They Need | How to respond when kids say "no fair"Description
This week, Layne and Jess reframe fairness into a more powerful concept: equity, ensuring everyone gets what they need. We offer practical scripts to explain this concept to your child, and discuss how to navigate those inevitable one-toy toddler meltdowns. This episode dives into:
- Why "no fair" complaints emerge around age 3 and how it relates to brain development
- Understanding the difference between fairness and equity
- Emphasizing that parents' needs matter too in family dynamics
- Guiding children through disappointment and unfulfilled wants
- Building resilience and empathy in kids by focusing on meeting diverse needs
- Communicating effectively with your co-parent about family needs
- Prioritizing needs based on your values and current circumstances
